| Remarks | Chinese "Shashen" consists of southern and northern "Shashen". Southern "Shashen" is from the plants of family Campanulaceae of genus Adenophora and northern "Shashen" is the barked root of Glehnia littoralis Fr. Schmidt et Miquel of family Umbelliferae (Jap. name: Hamabohu). Southern "Shashen" has strong behavior of removing phlegm, while northern "Shashen" has strong effect of nourishing Yin. Korean "Shashen" is the root of Codonopsis lanceolata (Sieb. et Zucc.) Trautv. of family Campanulaceae. In Korea, this species is called "Totok" which is the origin of Japanese "Totoki". Japanese "Shashen" is mostly the root of Adenophora triphylla A.DC. var. japonica Hara (Jap. name: Tsuriganeninjin). | |||||
